Just Folk

December 27, 2009 — Nijma

I have a favorite CD called Spirit Within recorded by a group called Just Folk. They’re a bit of a mystery though, because the CD isn’t listed on Amazon, and the group isn’t listed anywhere. I once heard them play as well, at a special dinner at the Red Oak Restaurant in Bishop Hill, Illinois. It was the best $16 I ever spent in my life. They played traditional medieval instruments, a large keyboard instrument for one–clavichord?–and wore historical dress. My guess–university people from some music department in Davenport, Iowa having a little fun on the side.

this cd was done by my family – you can contact jennifer thomas to find more music of this type if you are interested. send me your contact info – i will give it to her and she will contact you – she is the violinist you see on the cover of the just folk cd you posted.

Thanks, Nikki, I sent an email to the email address she left here, but it’s not working any more. The IP number I had more success with, and seem to have found an active email address that uses that IP. If she responds, and if it’s the same person, I will put you in touch.
